A friend of mine sent me a link to this song a couple of weeks ago and I thought I might post it up here to see what you guys thought.

I am not generally a fan of dance music. Thats not to say I won't dance in a club (I love dancing ), but I would never listen to dance music recreationally. The main reason I gave this song a chance of course was due to the guest vocalist- Jonsi from Sigur Ros.
As a song I think this is ok- I like the effect of a slow build and it is done pretty well. A lot of dance music seems orientated to try and create epic moments- pulsating throbing beats along with epilepsy inducing lights all thrown in for good measure- and to an extent it seems to be done here. If this came on in a club I would probably enjoy it.
Still though I don't think this song is as good as it could be. I was struck by it the first time I heard it but after a couple of listens..... it just doesn't seem to have a lot of substance. I suppose it just doesn't seem different enough to me- no real attempt to bridge the music between dance and something a little different.
Anyways thats my thoughts What about you guys?
